Reviews
Service was quick to get to us and get us started even though the place was packed! We started with an order of Fried pickles. Which to us were over battered and very heavy. We followed those up with wings and fries as our entre. The wings looked amazing and came out pretty quick. We do wings everywhere we go, and these left a lot to be desired. We found them to be very heavy with vinegar. Overpowering and hard to eat without dipping in ranch which I never do. The fries were simple and basic and likely the best part of our meal, which isn’t saying much.
The good: amazing service! Rachel our server was on top on everything, very attentive, and friendly to boot.
Final thoughts, we’d go back. It was super busy, you can tell it’s a local favorite. Maybe next time not before a show when it is busier than normal. The service and atmosphere are worth a second try!
The food is good. Nothing especially creative or prepared in an outstanding fashion, but that’s not what I’m looking for at a place like this. I just want bar/pub food that’s dependable. Rooster’s delivers that.
I ordered the wings. The server recommended mild for “hot, but not painful.” That’s exactly what I got: juicy chicken with crispy skin, slathered in a hot wing sauce that was just a little thinner than ketchup, so probably not the traditional Frank’s style hot sauce + butter.
My son order the veggie patty melt (Impossible Burger, onions, mushrooms and Swiss). Good choice to make it a patty melt; the oozing cheese and umami onions/mushrooms adds a good dose of fat to compensate for the lack of beef tallow. Fries were crispy and well seasoned.
My wife had the sliders appetizer and the fried Brussel sprouts. The slider patties were a little chewy, like a school cafeteria hamburger–most likely the result of low-heat cooking, or sitting too long (perhaps they weren’t cooked to order or maybe baked on a sheet tray in a convection oven). The spouts were exactly what she wanted. They were garnished with pomegranate arils and dusted with parmesan. They would’ve been better with sherry vinegar instead of balsamic.
Overall, this place is a good addition to Glenside. It’s a menu like what you’d get from a fast-casual chain restaurant, but much higher quality and you’re supporting a local business. I mean, it’s actually owned by a “restaurant group” with many locations in area. But the owners are from the Philly-area, and the choice of the name “Rooster’s” suggests they care about local communities.
If you’re in the mood for what they’re trying to do, this place will satisfy you.
Server was very nice! Did a great job accommodating all of us , couldn’t be better.
Food:
Not bad, my burger was just kind of a slightly better big mac, fries weren’t particularly hot, just warm ish. Burger patties clearly frozen premade.
Chicken and waffles eh. Grits tasted like they were reheated a couple of times, eggs poached well, and waffles were fine.
Atmosphere:
Here’s where it falls apart. I could hear the cooks talking super loudly and laced with profanity. Not a prude but it was so loud it o overwhelmed the ambient music. Also playing the in kitchen music, which seemed to be set on “early 2000/90sz rock alternative” , I specifically heard silverchair and puddle of mudd lol. Just really takes you out of the experience. And my lady said she saw one of the food runners scratching their behind in the server alley .
I’d give this place another shot but yeah not ideal.
